Spanish course in Benalmádena, Spain

Learn Spanish by the warm, sparkling waters of the Mediterranean, in sun-drenched Benalmádena! This is a colourful, lively town, yet it remains small enough to offer tranquillity and a glimpse into the traditional Spanish way of life. During your Spanish course in Benalmádena, you can walk the medieval streets of Benalmádena-Pueblo (the old town), discovering sights such as Castillo de Colomares (a magnificent monument to Christopher Columbus). Take the cable car up Mount Calamarro for superb views of the Spanish countryside, Gibraltar and even Africa on clear days. Then you can head back to the coast for a leisurely dinner, or to party the night away!

First week I had individual lessons, the second week I was in a group. Both weeks the lessons were good. The extra Flamenco classes were great!

It was just what I wanted, with lots of revision on past tenses. The teachers were excellent; their lessons were informative and very entertaining. I was very sorry to be only staying for one week. I have every intention of returning to Benalmadena to do more courses. The accommodation was very good with excellent facilities, I would hope to stay there next time.

The teachers were good and friendly. The course was good and it was very satisfying to be able to speak Spanish well after 4 weeks.
